The Reader Center is a newsroom initiative that is helping The Times build deeper ties with our audience.

Applications for our Facebook group are currently closed, but check back at nytimes.com/readers for other opportunities to get involved.

Do you consider yourself among The New York Times’s most dedicated readers (and listeners and viewers)? Would you like to talk about our coverage and connect with our journalists and other Times readers?

If so, please consider nominating yourself to become a member of The New York Times Reader Center Facebook community.

We encourage readers of all races, religions, ages, nationalities and political beliefs to apply. We are especially interested in building a diverse community with members who live outside of New York.

You don’t need to be a subscriber — just an invested reader who likes to keep up with what’s happening in the world.

What will you do?

• Provide feedback on Times coverage: Which stories spoke to you? What should we have done differently?

• Bring visibility to stories and voices in your community.

What’s in it for you?

• Discussions of coverage with other readers and our journalists.

• An intimate platform to reflect on how the news of the day affects you.

• Invitations to take part in other Times events, special projects and initiatives.

Your personal information will be kept confidential by The New York Times Reader Center and will be used in accordance with The Times’s privacy policy.

This will be a closed group on Facebook.

And please note: While we can’t accept every application for our initial launch, there will be future opportunities to get involved as we grow. And as always, you can send feedback to our journalists via the newsroom’s Reader Center.

A note to readers who are not subscribers: This article from the Reader Center does not count toward your monthly free article limit.
